what amp do i need?

[the-240sx-guy]

What type of amp do i need (power rating, channel...etc) to power 2 12" Alpine Type S subs?

i dont really want anything crazy expensive, so any suggestions of moderatly priced amps please

What's the RMS rating per sub?

[tctdmx]

type S it should be 200 rms... question would be are those subs dual voive coil or single voice coil ? 2ohm or 4 ?

then you can figure out how you want to connect your subs and what kind of power you will need or require for you subs

alpine mrp-m350

cheapo amp, but in reviews they put out around 450 watts, at 2 ohms.

very very nice performer in a tiny package... this thing will easily fit under most seats.

i think i paid 300 bucks for mine, discounted from A&B sound.

Gotta have enough clearance on the top for air flow though, or it'll overheat all the time :confused:

they are the single voice coil

thanks for the suggestions.
